Thermal Inlet Ducts for Cisco Nexus^ 9396 and 93128
Switches for Net-Access™ S-Type Cabinets
D ATA S H E E T
Specifications
The inlet duct shall be designed using CFD modeling and actual thermal lab
verification, and shall be compatible with Cisco Nexus^ 9396 and Nexus^
93128. The inlet duct shall optimize thermal performance by directing air from
the cold aisle to the switch inlet preventing hot air recirculation. The use of
passive inlet duct shall lower the average switch inlet temperature by 12oF to
22oF; resulting in reduced energy costs. The modular duct shall be capable of
being installed in retro-fit applications and allow access to fan and power
supply modules without disrupting existing in-cabinet equipment and cabling.

Key Features and Benefits
Direct cool air to the switch: Increases energy efficiency in ToR applications and allows high density server applications
Passive inlet duct: No additional moving parts or power required
Day one or two installation: Eliminates the requirement to replace or disturb
existing cabinets, equipment and infrastructure for lower capital expenditures
and minimized risk
Compatible with Panduit Server (S-Type) Cabinets: Allows maximum
thermal efficiency
Allows for installation in cabinets with mounting depths from 24 – 30"
(610 – 762mm): Allows greater network flexibility and reliability
Allows access to power supplies and fan blades: Allows ease
of maintenance
Bracket supports switch during installation: Allows single person ease of
switch installation
Applications
Top of Rack (ToR) switches, such as the Cisco Nexus^ 9000 series, are designed to meet the server-access networking
requirements of the virtualized data center. When deployed within server cabinets, the modular duct provides a cool air path
to the air intakes of the switch. By providing a path for cool air to the switch, data center temperature set points can be raised –
resulting in higher energy efficiencies and lower operating costs.
